BPAL

  • Favorite Scents
    HUNGRY GHOST MOON!!! Bordello, Aizen-Myoo, MB:Closet, Antique Lace, Cobra Lily, Obatala, Yemaya, Osun, the lunacy blends (2006 has been a great year for me), Morocco, Snake Oil, Chimera, DORIAN... there's so many. likes: i adore fruit, gardenia,rose,lilies, and creamy spicy scents. wine and tea work very well on my skin dislikes: i have to be careful with musk because it's usually a disaster if it's too heavy. coconut is my enemy with the exception of Obatala. BASICALLY I'LL THINK SOMETHING WON'T WORK AND THEN IT DOES BECAUSE BETH IS SO INNOVATIVE.

    Snow-Flakes

    The radiance and desolation of winter. i think the biggest BPAL disappointment i have had is Snow White. i so wanted to love it. then i swapped it and it got confiscated in Canada before it got to the other swapper. i didn't have a good experience with Snow White at all. so imagine my horror when i sniffed Snow Flakes in the decant and all i got was the scent memory of snow white. on my skin it wasn't snow white. it smelled like snow white but better. i didn't get the weird plastic smell that i got in Snow White. It is totally similar but different. they are very close cousins. it's a very soft mint layered over a cool watery note and florals. there has to be florals in there but i can't pick them out. it does get a little powdery but in a good way. it is GORGEOUS.
  2. recommending London also! you must try London. imo, it's the perfect rose blend. rose red was too sharp for me but London was just right. it's by far my favorite of the rose blends.
  3. I love tea scents and have so many imps. last night i sat down and tried them all to see which i loved best. The truest tea scent that i have found is definitely Gennivre L'artiste du Diable It smells just like a hot cup of black tea with honey. It's really very lovely and unassuming. at first i was "eh" about it but the second time i tried it i adored it. this actually might be edging out my beloved, Dorian. DORIAN...oh Dorian. need i say more about this one? I found White Rabbit and The Dormouse to be too light for my tastes but nonetheless gorgeous. Spirits of the Dead is my favorite LE tea scent. I try not to wear it often before bed because i've found that everytime i do i dream of dead loved ones. Sometimes I just don't want those visits, y'know? I wasn't a huge fan of HOliday Moon and I rarely reach for it. Not bad just not as good as some other tea scents. Shanghai is my favorite green tea scent. it's awesome in the summer.

    All Souls

    Out of all the Halloween scent this is the one I was most looking forward to. * * * * * All Souls hates my skin. All I got out of this was soap. I so wanted to smell cake and lovely incense!!!

    Creepy

    Creepy: in the decant it is all caramel. rich gooey brown caramel. when i swiped it on my wrists it stayed caramel for all of 10 seconds then i got a strong wiff of the apples and what smelled like mulled apple cider. as it dries it blends together and smells like candied apples. not until it was totally dry did i catch the coconut rum. i am not a fan of coconut but in Creepy it's so well blended with the other scents. it's a very sweet tooth-ache inducing scent but i think it's wonderful. not an everyday scent but definitely for the days you need sweetness in your life. i think i might wear this one on halloween night!

    The Phantom Calliope

    CHERRY!!! i love cherries but why is this NOT just screaming plain cherry goodness to me? it's screaming CHERRY ROBITUSSIN. to make things worse it dries to a plain mix of spices and scent where no note is distinguishable. even the cherry cough syrup is gone. stupid body chemistry! i'm still waiting for the perfect cherry scent. out of the five CD scents i've tried this is the only one that didn't work out so it's not too terrible a loss!

    Xanthe, The Weeping Clown

    i love fruity scents so Xanthe was a must-try. it's very sweet at first contact with my skin and i'm getting the bubble gum scent that a lot of people have smelled. thankfully, it dries to GUAVA!!! i'm addicted to those mexican guava nectar drinks. i can smell the pepper with the guava and i love how it makes this super sweet blend interesting. when fully dried a couple hours later i get more of a sweet slightly peppery floral with just enough guava lingering to keep it different from other floral blends. for the first time in a long time i'm glad that i live in arizona. i can pretty much wear this summery scent year round.

    Jester

    very sweet. it smelled like strawberries wet. i loved it at first but when it dried it began to smell exactly like a cheap black cherry candle...much too waxy. i love candles, but i don't want to smell like candles. i know people have suggested using it as a linen or home fragrance. i'll keep the imp and use it for that instead.
